OH HONEY. I do not like this one bit. I adore the living hell out of it.
This is perfect and despite its length it reads like an entire story on itself. Laurie's voice is perfect, I could hear little Christian Bale in my head as I read this and the style/tone fit perfectly with the way Ms. Alcott herself wrote them.
You kept it canon! I don't know why that sentence ends with an exclamation. I guess it just makes it all the more bittersweet and it is my belief that he never ever got over Jo completely.
The strikeouts were brilliantly utilized here. Because Jo and Laurie did really cover the whole spectrum and they were volatile and perfect and completely messed up at times and you got that all here.
And omg, AMY. His relationshiip with Amy actually broke me more than anything else I think. Because even though, he chose her in the end, she isn't the fighter that Jo is and that first line where he had to cover his laughs because she'd be hurt was exactly them.
I really want to throw back lines at you here, but in all honesty, there wasn't a word out of place or misaligned and this totally made my week.
THANK YOU SO MUCH, YOU. I had no doubt that you would get it and spawn something brilliant, but this? This was so much more than I was expecting.
